BROCADE-VCS-MIB

The MIB module for the monitoring of VCS fabrics. VCS fabrics is a proprietary technology of Brocade. A VCS fabric consists of a set of inter-connected Brocade VDX switches. These set of switches together behave like a single L2 switch to the outside world. The cluster can operate in 2 modes: fabric mode and Logical chassis mode. In fabric mode, the switches together behave like a single L2 switch - but configuration on each switch is independent of the other. In logical chassis mode, one switch in the fabric is elected as the principal switch. All configurations need to be done only from the principal switch. This is synced across to all the switches in the fabric. Thus the configuration information is the same on all the switches.
